What were the effects of texts dealing with the diabolical, and who
profited by them? This study, ranging from -Doctor Faustus- via
colonial novels and 'satanic' rock music to -The Satanic Verses-,
argues that the complexities of rationalization and demonization
cannot be contained in the simplistic - and contradictory - topoi
of the decline and return of the devil since the Renaissance. Yet
amidst these shifts and countershifts there is one phenomenon that
seems to defy historical change: the diabolization of authors who
dared to write of the devil."
